As a grass-root level journalist I am watching the "Gorkhaland"movement since 1986. I would like to draw your kind attention on thefollowing points.1. When it is clear that there is no community/ race/ ethnicity in the name of GORKHA in the existing world then how our Govt. is consideringthe demand of so called GORKHALAND AGITATORS and why the politicalparleys with GORKHA PARTIES.2. GORKHA is a district of NEPAL and GORKHA TOWN" is the Head Quarter of the Gorkha District. How a "GORKHA" named movement / Anarchy/ Chaos can be tolerated in India!3. Ancient time there was a kingdom named "GORKHA" in Nepal and theold palace is still there, just adjacent to GORKHA TOWN. The then King of GORKHA kingdom Prithwinarayan Shah is the founder of today'sgreater Nepal by conquering several small & medium sized kingdoms ofthat time. If the Nepalese are interested to remember that lion hearted king, they can easily change the name of their country by putting'GORKHALAND" in place of Nepal. A part of nepali speaking people inIndia, those who are identifying themselves as "GORKHA", such sectionof people may easily go there as because the treaty of 1950 (INDO-NEPAL FRIENDSHIP TREATY) allows both the Indians & Nepalese sameright of emigration. You will find from the history that members ofthe GORKHA regiments fought against India in the several occasions.Even Rabindranath Tagore condemned such type of aggression by callingthem butchers. You will find a piece of speech which is delivered by"GORKHA" leader, Mr. Damber Singh Gurung in the CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLYon 19th. December 1946. I am quoting a portion of that speech whereMr. Damber Singh Gurung telling : " Sir, the problem of the Gurkhas is quite different …… . Though we are made to do the dirtiest work inIndia for which we have been called Butchers by Indians, thoughhundreds of thousands of GORKHA lives were sacrificed to keep theBritish Rule in India and elsewhere, nothing has been done by the British Govt. so far the uplift of the GURKHAS"

From every corner it is established that regimented GURKHA / GORKHAmeans SLAVES. And till date a section of the Nepalese are doing thesame slavery as soldier, security personnel, in the various part of the world. When 'GORKHA" is foreign place and it is implied thatGURKHA/GORKHA means slaves, then how a Govt. can allow such movement ademand in the name of GORKHA.4. While 'GORKHA' is not a Community/ Race / Ethnicity etc. and there is no anthropological history of Gorkha at all, then GORKHALANDmovement is not an issue at all.5. When "GORKHA" is a landmark identity of Nepal and having a districtin the name, then how one can demand "GORKHALAND" in India! 6. It is fact that Britishers recruited youths from Nepal's Gorkhaarea in their army as slaves and hence the regiment of those slavesnamed 'GORKHA' (GURKHA). But it does not mean that the GORKHA is thecommunity or the race or the ethnicity. It is clear that Britishers uses the "GORKHA/ GURKHA" term as the identity the nepali speakingKhukri fighters (soldiers).7. While it is proved that 'GORKHA" is not a community/ race/ethnicity and "GORKHA" is a fictitious identity, then Govt. is duty bound to cancel the Gazette Notification, dated 23.08.1988 in regardto GORKHA citizenship. In this context I would like to mention that,the notification which was published by Indira Mishra, the then JointSecretary to the Govt.of India was unconstitutional. No one of our country has that right to issue the birth certificate for a communitythrough that procedure. The 'GORKHA" named community which wasfathered by Mr. Subhas Ghisingh (President of GNLF) and pushed to itas Gazette Notification by Mr. Buta Singh, the then Union Home Minister with the connivance of the then Darjeeling M.P Mr. InderjitKhuller. Mr. Bhuta & and Mr. Inderjit, both the Punjabis have madethis criminal offence by making the safe unconstitutional passage offictitious "GORKHA" community. My humble submission is, it is the duty of our judiciary as well as all the peoples' representatives to checkhow the things like "Gorkha" citizenship notification can be made andwhy not the culprits will be booked for this anti-national offence.8. While GORKHA is not a Community/ Caste / Ethnicity then how there will be political parties like GORKHA JANAMUKTI MORCHA, GORKHANATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT, ALL INDIA GORKHA LEAGUE ETC. While GORKHAis a fictitious identity, then how you, the Government makingPolitical Parleys with the "GORKHA" named parties and negotiating the so called GORKHALAND demand. In this context I would like to appriseyou that in the Darjeeling Hills you will find no national politicalparties, as because Darjeeling is a lawless land now, and creating terror is the routine work of GORKHA JANAMUKTI MORCHA led by itsPreesident Mr. Bimal Gurung. Those parties are still having theiractivities in the Darjeeling Hills, they may be different in theirnames, but political demands are same. All are in favour of a separate statehood which called "GORKHALAND".9. You will be astonished to know that the GORKHALAND demand is a longcherished dream of conspiracy in the name of Nepali Speaking people's sentiment.Actually the so called "GORKHA" leaders want "GORKHALAND" as separate country by creating anarchy with the help of illegally settledforeigners. To achieve their target, the leaders as well as theconspirators are trying to make their roads for that ultimatedestination. The target is ethnic cleansing of Bengali Community and the various Tribal Groups. Please go through these points and you willfind the answer.

No one can deny that everyday a large number of Nepalese (Citizen ofNepal) are coming to India through various open borders. As because there is no passport or Visa system and INDO-NEPAL border remainsopen, taking the undue advantage of INDO-NEPAL FRIENDSHIP TREATY,1950the emigrated Nepalese are settling in India by managing thecitizenship through Ration Card/ EPIC Card/ enlisting as voter and even enjoying the APL/ BPL status. You please go through Census Reportand you will find that, in 1951 there were 88,958 Nepali speakingIndian populations in the Darjeeling District whereas in 1961 thepopulation of Nepali speaking people in the District jumped to 3,69,130. The growth rate was 314.95%. Further in 1971, the population(i.e. Nepali speaker's population) jumped to 4,46,446. In 1981, it was5,40,444, in 1991 it was 6,37,874 and in 2001, it was 7,78,528. Youwill find more than 775% population growth of Nepali speakers took place within 50 years in Darjeeling Constituency only. And when youwill get the 2011 Census figure that will show you the Nepali speakingpopulation of the district to be more than 14.00 lacs. Out of 14.00lacs there will be a minimum of 10 to 11 lacs of those who are from Nepal taking the advantage of 1950's friendship treaty. If you wish toadd the figure of Nepalese entered in the DOOARS and other parts ofWest Bengal, then the number of Nepalese who settled as Indian will beabout 15.00 lacs. So, unless you are identifying these Non-Indian Nepalese you can not sit with Nepali speaking leaders as because youdo not know the person you are talking whether they areNepali-speaking persons of Indian Citizen or are Citizen of Nepal. Foryour ready reference I would like to submit below the quotation from "GORKHALAND MOVEMENT A CLANDENSTINE INVASION" by Dr. D.P. Kar"By 1991 Nepali census, the number of emigrants from Nepal had been6,58,337 of which 89.2% i.e. 5,87,236 persons had gone to India.Within the period from 1991-2001 the number of emigrants from Nepal had been 7,62,181 and nearly 68% of them i.e. 5,18,283 personsmigrated to India".

The emigrants of Nepal in many areas of North Bengal have alreadyout-numbered the local population leading to ethnic tensions and sometimes violence. Take just the instance for verification, please goto TOTOPARA of Jalpaiguri District while the land of the TOTOPARA isexclusively enmarked for the primitive TOTO tribe. You will see therehalf of the land is occupied by the Nepali people and it's unfortunateto hear that TOTO tribes are speaking Nepali! Both central Govt. andState Govt. of West Bengal are aware of the fact that in December 2009one NGO named "Janachetana" has filed Public Interest Litigation inthe KOLKATA HIGH COURT, where the petition raised questions regarding the citizenship status of "Treaty Benficiery Napali Nationals in Indiaand prayed for directions from the Hon'ble Court to the respondents soas to prevent flagrant violation of the Art. 326 of the Constitution, Representation of Peoples Act and Foreigners' Act etc. Except ElectionCommission, all the other respondents failed to submit their affidavitin opposition and remained conspicuously silent over the issue. It is also heard that "Janachetna" has already moved one more petitionpraying for an interim order restraining the respondents from holdingthe tripartite meetings with any of the outfits claiming to be therepresentatives of the Nepalese whose citizenship status are disputed, debatable and yet to be ascertained according to the Constitution ofIndia., Citizenship Act, the Foreigners' Act, the relevant Treatiesand the Central Govt.'s Gazette Notification dated 23rd. August 1988-till the final disposal of the pending Writ petition by the Hon'ble High Court. Sir, I am in constraint to say that this sort of disregardand defiance to the judicial process from the Govt. Administrationwill only make people loose their confidence on the system ofjudiciary in the country.

Sir, I am not going to mention here the activities of Mr. Buta Singhwho acted as agent of Mr. Subhas Ghisingh in the earlier days for the creation of gorkhaland.Yes i am having that document in which BUTA SINGH writting to INDERJIT GUPTA , THE THEN HOME MINISTER OF INDIA FOR CREATION OF GORKHALAND STATE. I WOULD LIKE TO just intimate you that this is not the way to purchase peace in the Darjeeling Hill by giving them interim set up (autonomous)which straightly speaks SEPARATE STATE, will be the final one.

Sir, I know that I will not get any answer of this letter , but pleasekeep it in mind that I will fight tooth & nail against all the odds AND he, who may be the political players. I am bound to do so as a truecitizen of this country.

Sir, while you are wrongly ready to give acouncil, please delete the 'GORKHA" word from DARJEELING HILL COUNCIL. And for your information, please note that late Rajiv Gandhi and lateJyoti Basu both were dead-against of inclusion of "GORKHA" word asbecause they never heard "GORKHA", the community which was fathered by"messiah" Subhas Ghisingh.

You see GORKHALAND movement is in no way similar to any other movementof separate State anywhere in India. This is the dacoity, hooliganism, gundaism oftwo sections of people of a single linguistic Community. One section is a portion of beneficiaries of Indo-Nepal friendship treaty and the other sectionis a portion of true Indian Nepali Speaking citizen.

Sir, please remember the Sikkim, the State which having its firstlanguage being Nepali has made a strict barrier to the entry of Nepalese Beneficiaries , while Bihar, West Bengal and U.P. are stillgiving the open border and free entry.

Sir, while you have accommodated Nepali language in the EighthSchedule, how you can recognize "GORKHA"? Who are they?

WANTED PUBLISHER

Mr Tushar Pradhan, a senior journalist, now based at Kolkata (Calcutta), is writing a book based on research associated with the fake identity of 'Gorkha'. In the book he is going to prove that there is no community named 'Gorkha'. They are merely Nepalis. As there is no 'Gorkha' there should be no 'Gorkhaland' in India. If anyone wants to demand and establish such a 'Gorkhaland' he should do it in Nepal or elsewhere, never in India.

Mr Tushar Pradhan wants a reputed publisher to publish his book. Publishers may contact to : charjeeling@gmail.com or +919830408119.
